This was the smallest aft facing balcony I’ve ever had. Only room for two chairs and a table. Very short balcony.

Ship tip

Deck 13 was confusing trying to find my cabin in the aft

So, what was so hard about finding your cabin, other than most cruise ships I have been on do not have a deck labeled “13”? Looks fairly straightforward like several other decks. Was it a lack of signage other than room numbers on cabins to orient you to port/starboard and forward/aft?
